A long long time ago,
in a galaxy far away,
naboo was under an attack.
and i thought me and qui-gon jinn,
could talk the federation in,
to maybe cutting them a little slack.
but their response it didn't thrill us,
they locked the doors and tried to kill us.
we escaped from the gas,
and met jarjar in boss nass.
we took a bongo from the scene,
and we went to theed to see the queen.
we all wound up on tatooine,
that's when we found this boy.
-------chorus--------
my my this here anikan guy,
maybe vator someday later,
now he's just a small fry.
he left his home,
and kissed his mommy good bye.
singing soon i'm gonna be a jedi
soon i'm gonna be a jedi.
---------------------
did you know this junkyard slave isn't even old enough to shave?
but he can use the force to save.
do you see him hitting on the queen, though he's just 9 and she's 14.
he's probably gonna marry her someday.
Well, i know he built c-3po,
and i heard how fast his pod can go,
now we were broke it's true, so we made a wager or two-oo!
he was a pre-pubescent flyin ace
and the minute jabba started off that race,
i knew we'd win first place,
oh yes it was our boy.
-------chorus-------
Now we finally got to coruscant,
the jedi counsel we knew would want,
to see how good the boy could be.
so we took him there, and we told the tale,
how his midichlorians were off the scale,
and he might fullfill that prophecy.
the counsel was impressed of course,
could he bring balance to the force?
they interviewed the kid,
oh training the forbid, because
yoda sensed in him much fear.
and qui-gon said now listen here,
stick in your pointy ear,
i still will teach this boy.
we were singin'
-------chorus-------
We caught a ride back to naboo,
because queen amidala wanted to,
frankly i would have liked to stay.
we all fought in that epic war,
and it wasn't long at all before,
little hot-shot flew his plane and saved the day.
And in the end some gundans died,
some ships blew up and some pilots fried,
a lot of folks were croakin',
the battle droids were broken.
and the jedi i admired most,
met up with darth maul and now he's toast
i'm still here and he's a ghost.
i guess, i'll train this boy.
and i was singin'
-------chorus-------
we were singin'
